The Alt Root Top Ten For November 17, 2021
Sitting on top of the chart are Dustbowl Revival, joined by The Secret Sisters, with the single “The Exception” for the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday November 17, 2021. The muse for Paul Hoffman penning “Grow Together” was his five-week-old daughter and her innocence, the tune a track from the upcoming (01-21-22) release from Greensky Bluegrass, Stress Dreams, on the list beside “Can’t Stop the Rain” from In Plain Sight, the recently released album from Neal Francis. Evidenced by the 3-disc (5 vinyl album) release Highway Butterfly: The Song of Neal Casal, Neal was a musician’s musician. Tenure as a A-list session guitarist as well as band member in Ryan Adams backing band, The Cardinals, as well as the Chris Robinson Brotherhood and Hard Working Americans was balanced with solo releases. The chart is happy to host two cuts from the 41-track compilation with songs from Dori Freeman and Teddy Thompson (“Sweeten the Distance”) and Steve Earle and The Dukes providing the title track for Highway Butterfly. Bow Thayer will release The Book of Moss in the new year (01-21-22), and he offers an advance listen for the Top Ten with “Ogallala” while Austin’s Buffalo Nichols provides a cut from his self-titled release, “Back on Top”. Syd Carter West is on the list with her new single, “The Ugly Truth”, MohaviSoul offer the single “Breakin’ Down” as Georgia songman Ryan Slice borrows a track from AC/DC as he exits the chart with the single “It’s a Long Way to the Top” on the weekly Top Ten for Wednesday November 17, 2021.
